There should be some in-game medals awarded to players when they achieve exceptional battle results. Like for example....



Illal's Finest - Five out of five achievements in one battle.

One with the Machine - MVP 250 times.

Champion of Prosk - MVP 100 times while fighting for Prosk.

Sentium Enforcer - MVP 100 times while fighting for Sentium.

Employee of the Month - Most EU transferred 250 times.

I'll Cut a B*tch - Assist Leader 250 times.

Butcher of Illal - Kill Leader 250 times .

Black Belt in Mechkwando - K/D Ratio Leader 250 times.

I would prefer that my rewards be the sacrifice of twenty virgins thrown into my fiery maw at daybreak, followed by 10 hours of celebration and ritual dancing.

Maybe,

iron,
copper,
silver,
gold,
platinum (with one jewel in the middle [diamond, ruby..]_),

stars might be a cool addition in the game.

By 'medals' do you mean mech decorations or something to go on your player profile_

[SilentJacket]

I would go for kill type medals, kinda like those in Halo Reach (though minus the excessiveness)

[FussyBadger]

No, thanks. Achievements are a weak substitute for an enjoyable game, to me. Work on gameplay and content, not momentary blips on my ego's billboard.

Any of you ever get a Blue Plate Special in Tribes: Ascend_

That little accolade is boss as @#$%.
KA-CHING!

@The_Eldritch_Abomination

Why not both_ Prolonged and successful gameplay should be recognized somehow.

[Alastor_Crow]

People are driven by incentives. Incentives can be in the form of monetary gain (like in-game credits, which we have in the form of HC) or an elevation in status and recognition (MMR/Mastery kind of counts). Medals/Trophies/Achievements are used in almost every game that comes out in the market nowadays because of this exact reason. It gives players something to work for (and show for). Some people may not care for it, or pretend not to, but most competitive or even casual gamers always enjoy a nice little badge as reward for their hard work and fine play.

[SilentJacket]

do it intelligently though,

I'm gunna bring up H4 again (beware)

you shoot a guy in the head and BAM! 40 medals pop up on your screen

^^ don't do that.

[Alastor_Crow]

I admit that a lot of games overdo it. Make it so that people need to actually work for it. The MVP x100, x250, x500+ is a fine idea and reasonable. Maybe even Crushing Kills x10 x50 x100 as well. Or killstreak trophies. Maybe you can also have milestone medals for mech kills like "Frag 1000~5000 enemies with [insert class here]".

Also, it wouldn't hurt to have special camo/paintjob/drones tied to medals that are very hard to earn. Or at least make it available for MC purchase once unlocked by the medal/achievement so it won't hurt the F2P business model. The rest can settle with maybe a 1000HC bonus -- not much but it's something.

(Would love to hear thoughts from some devs here. Something like "maybe..." lol)

I also thought about a militar rank system. I mean, you start as corporate pilot, for example, and gets promoted along with your mech mastery and battle experience passing through squad officer and brigade commander. Depending on your acts a medal of these could promote you instantly.
This would help the team's organization in matches.

I thought about that to..... but didn't feel like researching the different ranks (different countries and different branches of the military have different ranks.... who knew)

Didn't the CB have a metal(s) section in the post game results but was never implemented_

Edit: I would love to see more dedicated rolls in Hawken. Commanders, tacticians, etc. People who actually sit and lay out commands for teams, spot enemies and lay down focus points rather than the current voice. (would also give the map a use if players could active draw and mark on it)

[ArnieF4440]

Yeah, CBE's had what looked like a "medals" or accolades section, but all it said was "coming soon"

good idea

[The_Eldritch_Abomination]

[Skrill]

medals.., ummm yes please i like this idea very much

[erathic]

+1

Also maybe this feature can be merged with the (upcoming_) Decal decoration system_

Efficiency Reward Decals : can be unlocked only by playing, performing certain actions, they reward veteran and excellent pilots
Cosmetic Reward Decals : visually differents from ERD, available only thru MC, can be used to customize mix with ERD.

a bit like the dogtags in BF3

[FussyBadger]

I know it's inevitable. Given a choice, I prefer long term achievements versus nonsense popping up on my screen for every kill (ala Cod/Halo).

[erathic]

yep never ever add popping stuffs on-screen during gameplay, there is already way too much of them.
